Dense, fudgey and ultra-healthy, these brownies are a great alternative to traditional brownies! It's amazing how they taste like chocolate and fudge and not beans! (from happyherbivore.com)

Ingredients

  • 15 ounces black beans, drained/rinsed
  • 2 bananas
  • 1/3 cup agave nectar
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup raw sugar (optional)
  • 1/4 cup oats

Directions

  1. If using rolled oats, pulse in food processor until more granulated like instant oats.
  2. Preheat oven to 350F. Grease anf 8x8" pan and set aside.
  3. Combine all ingredients, except oats, in a food processor or blender and blend until smooth, scrapping sides as needed.
  4. Stir in the oats and pour batter into the pan.
  5. Bake approx 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  6. Allow to cool before slicing. The brownies firm as they cool. For a cool, fudge treat, keep them in the fridge.
